Rumpole and the Stolen Silence | Classic Courtroom Mystery | Old Bailey Stories

Step into late twentieth-century London as Horace Rumpole takes on a quiet church scandal that turns very loud at the Old Bailey. A shy caretaker-choirman is accused of stealing antique silver communion cups, but a stubborn barrister, a worn vestry lock, and an oddly inflated insurance valuation suggest a far more respectable culprit. Smoke, claret, and courtroom wit collide in a humane mystery where the most valuable thing stolen may be silence itself.
